  • They represent an ideal that they prob can’t achieve but stanning let’s them signal that ideal & sensibility to others as a way of expressing themself

    Even our favorite artists Stan someone

    Totally serious answer to this, the few times I have found myself a stan actually are a direct cause of mental illness, my OCD has caused me to form some obsessional bonds with artists in the past, it sucks and is mostly a negative experience, thinking about their music when I don’t even want to, organizing their music in specific ways, forced hyper-repetitive rationalization of bad music, it can actually be pretty uncomfortable. So I think issues with mental illness often are the cause of it

    I'm not even kidding, this is something I've noticed.

    Why do people do this? Why did being a "die hard fan" turn into "stanning"? and what are the reasons that this develops from someone just being a music consumer?

    Does it stem from insecurities about liking an artist?

    Few circumstances:

    • I left a few comments in a Drake thread last night (not even making fun of Drake or his music) just making quoting an avi and 3-4 different people swarm me and straight up just go all in at me calling me "reetarded" or "an loser" or "virgin"

    • in some Kanye threads I was in a few months ago someone actually posted my face into the thread that I posted in the "post pictures of yourself" thread I'm pretty sure I didn't even do anything to anger anyone either.

    • Lucki era, where one of those freaks actually called my work and almost got me fired (can't make this up).

    That unnamed user we all know would message me at midnight "fuck you, loser, cac, virgin, etc" all because I said his favorite artist sucked ass

    I mean you can't make this s*** up, are these people mentally ill? Why does someone take defending an artist THIS far? It's just music at the end of the day...

    Howd they find out your job
